About Us
What is Leeds Food Aid Network?
Leeds Food Aid Network (FAN) exists to help bring different people, initiatives and institutions together who are involved in tackling food poverty in the city of Leeds. We connect organisations and communities so people can access the food, support and advice they need.
Network Overview
Three main ways people connect
The diagram illustrates three main areas where people working in this field are interacting. Leeds FAN helps to stimulate these interactions so people can connect more effectively to help people struggling with food poverty.
Food aid is a term used to describe any form of food provision that assists someone in a state of food poverty.
How the network works

Distribution
Supermarkets, businesses and residents help move food to providers across Leeds.

Longer Term Assistance
People can also be connected to longer-term services like training, advice and wellbeing support.
Why the website matters
Better communication across the city
For providers and support teams
The website keeps providers aligned through shared updates, referrals, and clear contact routes.
For people outside the sector
It gives residents a clear picture of available food support and where to access help.
Clearer signposting. Stronger coordination. Better public awareness.
